1st Finish of 2012! Slow Stitching Week!

I had some stash arrive from 123 Stitch which had the beads I needed to finish "Holly" it also contained the beads and metallics that I need for the "Air" Goddess, which is great!

So Thursday night I sat down and finished my restitch of "Holly", Friday she was washed, Ironed and mounted, however I'm not entirely happy with the mounting, I think it has something to do with the different size canvas, but the difference is ever so slight, but it still looks odd to me!

"Holly" Pixie Couture Nora Corbett

Although I am happy with how the canvas colour came out!

And here is "Holly" with "Iris"

"Holly" and "Iris" Pixie Couture

They look great together and I cant wait to add more!

I also had a bit of a slow week on "Selina" after a good session on Monday, with getting the right hand side of the heart stitched and 3 Episodes of "Lewis" later. Tuesday I was knackered after work, Wednesday Night we had my Birthday Dinner, which we went to a really good Indian Restaurant that we all like and Thursday I finished "Holly" Friday was a bit of a blah day, It was so hot here, even with the fan on I didn't feel like stitching so I laid on the couch and had a long nap.

So yesterday I did manage to get some stitching in

"Sweet Selina" Saturday 11th Feb

The heart is nearly done, and there is only a few strawberries to go! So hopefully this week that bottom corner will be done in time for Next Weekends "IHSW" which is great because I'm having a "Sawathon" with a friend from work, all 7 "Saw" Movies back to back!

I hope you all had a great Stitching week! And don't forget to sign up for "IHSW" when the sign up goes up this week!

Woot, woot!!! Another great Holly finish. :D I love how the green turned out and I see what you mean about the dimensions of the mounting. I do think it looks good though. I've been itching to stitch another pixie too... Fern and Ivy are looking lonely, hehe.

Holly looks fantastic! Well done on getting her finished again ;0) Both pixies look so gorgeous together - can't wait to see which one is next. Selina is so sweet - stitching her watching back to back Lewis - yes! But back to back Saw movies.... Ummm maybe not!Look forward to the next update!
